We all know that Bilkent sports enthusiasts are a hardy lot, and a little bit of rain or cold doesn’t keep them away from the campus runs held each spring and fall by the Sports Center. But for the Spring Run last Saturday, they were in luck. It was a perfect morning for a run—cool and sunny, with a light breeze.
At 11 a.m., nearly 200 runners, joggers and walkers were ready at the starting line in front of the East Campus Sports Hall. They included Bilkenters of all ages, as well as friends and guests.
The 3 km-long route took the competitors from East Campus to Main Campus, finishing at the Main Sports Hall. Following the race, an awards ceremony took place, with the winners receiving trophies. The top finishers in all categories are listed below.
